Today My Life Begins (Bruno Mars Fan Fiction)

Chapter 23

     I decided to get a bottle of rum to take back to my room, to numb this pain, to forget Julia, I don't want to remember. I can't even put into words how horrible I feel, the guilt that is hitting me so hard I want to beat the shit out of something, but in the end I'm still the bad person. I got to my room and threw my jacket across the room and started drinking from the bottle that left a numbing bitter taste that I tried to concentrate on besides my guilt. I felt my phone buzzing and immediately thought of Marceline, "Hello, Marci?" 

"Um. No it's Phil. Man where are you?" 

I rolled my eyes, "I'm in my room." 

"Oh well I was just there and didn't hear you. Were you sleeping?" 

"Naw man I was out getting a bottle." 

Phil sighed, "What happened?" Phil knew me too well.

"I fucked up man. I fucked up bad." 

"You know what, I'm coming over." 

"No you don't need to-" 

"Too late I'm out the door. Bye." He hung up. 

If he was in his room he'd be here any minute. I set my phone aside and took a long swig from the bottle as I popped onto the couch. I notice my phone began to light up again with a light sound ringtone that sound familiar, making me feel like something wasn't right. She didn't want me, she told me she didin't want to talk to me, that she wants me to forget her all together, but for some reason it shown a video chat from Marci. I was so nervous to answer, this must be a mistake but I need to see her. My palms began to sweat as I held my phone in my hand looking at her photo too scared to know what is on the other line. I want to believe she is calling to have as real of a conversation as we can get in person, to get it all out on the table. I want to fix this, because in all reality, shes got this hold on me that I can't seem to let go of and the grip just keeps tightening. I shook my head as I answered it and just like last time the screen was black but this time only for a second till when I finally seen her she looked absolutely stunning. She was drinking her blue drink and dancing, but she also looked really drunk. She was laughing, stumbled a little that only made her laugh some more while trying to talk to Darci. 

It took me a minute to realize that she wasn't the one holding her phone. "Yeah baby you shake that ass!" A familiar voice said in the background. 

Marci laughed trying to talk over the loud music, "Why aren't you dancing?" 

"My phone died. I'm using your phone, waiting on a text." The screen began to shake, "Hold on it's coming through." 

Marci put her hands on her hips and looked confused, that was until the screen froze for a second and then I was facing Micha. My adrenaline, all my anger hit me so fast. my head began to spin seeing him again in the same place as Marceline. 

"Oh hey, didn't see you there. Thought you might want to see what you're missing." 

"Micha if you touch her..-" 

Micha looked up and started walking away from Marci, "You'll do exactly what? You're on the other side of the world.. Besides I heard the girls talking, Marci doesn't want to seem to talk about you so much tonight. You must have done something bad." Micha was digging deep under my skin.

"Micha I'm being serious when I say if you touch her, you better hope I don't ever find you."

 Micha laughed, "Oh really? Watch this number." He started walking back to the corner Marci was. "Enjoy the show."
